The stress of being a man can add up. Maybe that pressure comes from school, family, your coach, or even your friends’ expectations of you.

Do you feel it?

Every guy wants to be a success, but not every guy makes a plan to succeed. The decisions you make today will make a difference later on. 

You want to make good grades, have some money, and play your favorite video game, but ultimately you want to finish school, get a great job, and build the perfect life. 

One major challenge to building that future revolves around how you develop relationships today. That’s what this magazine is all about―how to build good, solid relationships. 

In this magazine, you’ll get the “Inside scoop on girls,” dating advice, and the hard-hitting truth about pornography and how it keeps you from the future you want. 

Now is the time when you decide what kind of man you want to become and what type of life you want to live. You get to choose what your future looks like. This is your time.

Dating and relationships can be overwhelming and all-consuming in our minds. 

We spend so much time, so much mental
and emotional energy asking ourselves: 

• Who am I going to be with? 

• How will this person fulfill me? 

• How good can I look while doing it?

But we should really focus on these questions: 

• Who do I want to be?

• What am I living for?

• Who am I living for?

Figuring out relationships starts with figuring yourself out. People don’t want a relationship with a fake person; they want a real relationship with the real you. You need to know who the real you is so that you can form those authentic relationships you desire.

What are the characteristics you want in an ideal future spouse? An ideal friend? Strive to develop those characteristics in yourself, and you’ll attract that type of person.
